On Tuesday, May 3, the Bluffton Lions Club hosted a dinner at Bluffton Town Hall honoring Ed and Nancy Yeager as the 2021 Citizens of the Year. The husband and wife team are a dynamic duo who support a variety of community programs.

Southgate Lanes, 9700 Dixie Hwy., celebrated a "closing" weekend on April 29 and 30 with a Bluffton Family Recreation cornhole tournament, live music by Next to Nothing and a karaoke competition. That is to say, the bowling alley will be closed until June 7.
The inaugural Bluffton’s Got Talent competition crowned Kyle Roby as champion on May 30. Roby made it through all three rounds, performing "classic jingle from the Backstreet Boys" in the finals.
